How to Edit Your INI Files to use this mod
For Singleplayer and Non-Dedicated
Both use the same INI file.
See this video for where the files are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDEd7nw0xKg

Close Ark before you edit the files. It does not matter where in the file you put it, as long as all options for a mod are under the same header. Do not have multiple headers for one mod.
Open GameUserSettings.ini

You will need to add the mod's header yourself- [VariantReplacements]
And the INI option, Replacements=

Add the names from the discussion posts you want to use. Then save the file with the keys Ctrl and S at the same time.



For Servers

Server hosts have different methods of accessing the files, depending on the provider. Some may not allow directly editing the files and require the UI. Some need you to directly edit. Ask your server provider how to access them if you can't see how to!

For Nitrado, you MUST enable Expert Mode https://wiki.nitrado.net/en/Expert_Mode_for_ARK_Servers

For Gportal, you need to click Configuration Files, select GameUserSettings.ini from the dropdown, and then click Save.
